View Photo Gallery: Kobe Bryant felt the sting of a broken nose, thanks to Dwyane Wade’s foul in the All-Star Game on Sunday night.

Yuck. Bryant also suffered a concussion when he was fouled hard by Wade, but was cleared by a neurologist to play. “I'm fine. I have no headaches,” said Bryant, who wore a bandage on the back of his neck after the game. “Everything's just kind of in the neck.”

Bryant said there was a “constant throbbing” at the base of his neck, but snuffed any spark of a notion that there’ll be bad blood over the foul when the Heat play the Lakers at 3:30 EST on Sunday on national TV (ABC).

“He didn't mean to do it,” Bryant said. “It's something that happens. He's not that type of person. ... He's a nicer guy than I am, to be honest with you.”

And the mask? That probably isn’t going away. A reporter asked Bryant if, perhaps, he might now be the Masked Mamba.
